Literary Fiction
by Alvaro Mutis
Colombian master Álvaro Mutis conjures a decaying estate in the tropical lowlands where time, morality, and reason dissolve into humid atmosphere. Within the crumbling mansion of Araucaima, characters enact a hypnotic dance of desire and violence, trapped in a suspended reality. Mutis creates a fever dream of Gothic decay transplanted to the Colombian rainforest.
